WATCH | These foods could help you get the glossy, healthy hair you've been dreaming of

Getting glossy, healthy hair is not only about which products you apply to your mane; it could also come down to the food you eat.

Here are three common foods that could help you maintain your healthy, shiny locks.

1. Mushrooms

Mushrooms contain biotin, which is excellent for keeping hair healthy.

2. Broad beans

Broad beans contain iron, which is important for hair growth. An iron deficiency can lead to problems with hair health.

3. Turkey legs

Turkey legs contain L-Lysine -- an essential amino acid the body can't produce by itself. Studies show the body absorbs iron better when L-Lysine is consumed at the same time.

Watch the video above to see the full benefits these foods can have for your hair.

If you don't have a deficiency of any of these nutrients, you shouldn't consume them in access. A balanced diet is enough to keep you well-nourished.
